Genealogies of the Early Settlers of Weston, VT, 2d edition. Generously provided by the Weston Historical Society. Between 1916 and 1974, Raymond A. Taylor compiled the genealogies of seventy-five Weston families. The Weston Historical Society, in celebration of Weston’s 200th Anniversary, has transcribed Taylor’s original work and supplemented it with birth, marriage and death data as recorded in the Town Hall for the first 100 years (1800-1900). The project has been expanded to include the ancestors of Weston’s original residents as well as descending family groupings in so far as they are still connected to the village.

Marriages and Baptisms performed by Richard Bedford, Jr. a minister of the Methodist Episcopal Church in the mid 1800s. These records are of baptisms 1836-1847, and marriages 1837-1849. Localities include Vermont counties of Orange, Windsor, Caledonia, Orleans, and Washington.

Branches and Twigs

Note: Some of these Branches and Twigs files are quite large and take a while to open. Since these image files are not searchable, it is recommended that researchers first consult the index to each volume and then look up information within the appropriate page.
